thought I would post a few pics of my past/present MG's.

This was my first and still current MG. Bought this in 2007 and still love it as much now as I did then.

Then I added this MGF although wasn't long before I had to scrap it.

[IMG


Later the same year I bought this TF.

[IMG


After two years I swapped it for my first ZR.

[IMG


Then last year I added a second ZR to the fleet.

[IMG


Sold it back to its previous owner to make way for my second MGF but first VVC

hope you all like.

Nice series and your VVC looks really nice. How do you find the F after the TF?

the TF was a 115 so the VVC obviously feels quicker and has a better standard spec.

the F does ride much nicer and I think as its been used quite a bit by its previous owners seems to run better although the VVC mechs do seem noisy.

I wish they were lol.

The F needs a fair amount of tlc.

The ZS is pretty mint but then it only does about a 1000 miles a year.

The ZR is a daily driver and is in really good order for a 12 year old car.....rear arches are just starting to rust but that's the only part that needs attention.

The ZS is a minter I've seen it up close a few times. I like the new VVC F the square spokes just look so good on the F.

I've never driven a ZR but I've had two 25 GTi's and a 200vi they were an absolute pleasure to drive and could give much bigger and more expensive German cars a bloody nose at the lights.Wish I'd kept my last GTi it was a fully loaded stunner.

My first MG was bought as a MOT failure in January 2014 .......................................................... nope never had an MG before that and of course that one is being stripped as a donor for others now. Parts have gone onto both "Elsie" and "Blue 33". her heart went down to Norfolk to save a poor Freestlye that had a terminal heart, rod through liner after dropped valve, and slowly her parts that I don need andc annot see a need for are finding new homes.

Both my MG's are sort of restoration projects, rolling ones mostly, however the stable includes relatives in a Rover 75 Connoisseur and a Rover 623 GSi. In the past there was 214SLi in the household it was the nephew who was the Rover car "nut" he started off with a "G" Plated 216 back when it was only about 4 or 5 years old then came in no particular order:-

3500 SD1
Mk1 2000 P6
220 Turbo Coupe
820 Ti Vittesse x2 ( still think he was an idiot to sell the last one :bang: )
Rover 75 2.5 Club
MG Montego Turbo

Plus some other makes along the way.
